Magnificent December 20, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This, the revised Magnificat of 1733, with transverse flutes instead of recorders and in D major (from Eb), shows Bach at his most rapturous, inventive and lyrical (even if the actual lyrics were someone else's!). With music like this, no wonder the Christian faith was so strong for so long.
From the off, Andrew Parrott sets an urgent pace. Although none of the early numbers is indecently over-hasty, none of them gives much pause for thought either, and we have the faint suspicion, initially at least, that Parrott must have had an important connection to make just after the recording. But if the first track, 'Magnificat', seems a bit too jaunty, put it down to the subtle, sub-conscious conditioning you received from those over-sedate recordings of the 60s and 70s. The second number, Et exultavit, is even pacier, and the delivery by first soprano Emily Van Evera, is clipped to suit the tempo. But her pure, unaffected singing style is admirably Baroque and her intonation spot-on. On reflection, of course, the context demands pace and vitality, without a hint of lethargy. Anyway, when we really need some time and space, we get it. The third number, 'Quia respexit', is more expansive. And by the time we hear the central section, Quia fecit and Et misericordia, we have adjusted. The duet with its soulful, minor-third harmonies (in B minor? I can't find the score), is a particular highlight.
Bach's Magnificat is the music of delight as well as devotion, and is the kind of stuff that the devout secularist can enjoy as readily as anyone else. The musical ideas are thick and fast (Bach was in a hurry, too). Parrott's recording impressively conveys a mood of jubilation that is continued into the next work on CD1, the contemporaneous Ascension Oratorio/Cantata, whose trumpets and bright optimism make it an obvious companion piece.

brilliant brilliant brilliant pieces and an excellent recording! At last a performance of the Magnificat faster than the usual snails pace! It needs to be proclaimed that Bach has to be played quickly, the musicians have finally got the right idea this time. Also of notable worth is the joyous chorus 'Nun ist das Heil und die Kraft' A testament to the GENIUS of Bach.
